Mannen D-rank No Chuunen Boukensha, Yotta Ikioi De Densetsu No Ken Wo Hikkonuku - CH 58

There was a wolf running in the dungeon.

With a streamlined body covered in jet black fur, it stomped on the ground at high speed.

It was Cruxie’s pet dog, Kuu the Shadow Wolf.

[Kuu, can you follow the smell well?]

[Bau, Bau!]

When Cruxie who was in the shadows asked, Kuu answered confidently.

What Kuu is tracking is Cruxie’s scent.

To be precise, the smell of a towel soaked in her sweat.

The other day, Princess Fiora had secretly took it, and it was possible to search for her whereabouts in the dungeon with her scent.

Its sense of smell is tens of thousands of times better than that of humans, it can even smell a slight odor.

[Grrrr!]

[Leave it to me!]

When Cruxie realizing his intention, She stepped out of the shadow.

And easily eliminated the monster that was in the way.

It was a division of roles, due to the Shadow Wolfs not being good at frontal battles.

By the way, Kuu had to move out the shadows, he was running on the ground because it’s easier to smell the scent, and Cruxie was in the shadows to prevent her own scent from mixing and confusing Kuu.

[You have to hurry!]

[Bau!]

***

[This has become a big problem… ..]

Princess Fiora vaguely sighed.

She and her unit were exploring the eighth floor of the great Seland labyrinth —– she was on a floor that resembled an abandoned castle.

However, she was caught by a teleportation trap that had been placed in an unexpected place and was taken to a different location from her companions.

For a time, she was looking for her companions and regular routes, but she had encountered monsters several times.

She has been raised as a martial arts genius since her childhood, and has the best abilities of the Knight’s school.

Not only that she also has first-class weapons.

Thanks to that, she had no problems with the monsters on this floor, but… ..because there were consecutive battles, the fatigue has accumulated.

Currently, for the purpose of resting, she was hiding so that monsters could not find her.

[… ..Firstly, on this vast floor, the probability of being able to return to where i was before is very low]

When in distress and danger, one shouldn’t move around unnecessarily and wait for the search team to arrive.

It is taught at the beginning as a basis for the basics of dungeon exploration.

When she finally calmed down, and in accordance with that, she decided not to move on her own.

Of course, if you are just an ordinary adventurer, you cannot expect to be searched, but if you are a student of the knight school, the school will organize a search team.

And being the princess, a large-scale search party is sure to be dispatched.

Still, this is the eighth floor.

Even if a search team were dispatched, it would take two or three days to reach this floor.

Also, because the monsters that appear are very strong, they cannot divide the staff too much, so the search must also be difficult.

The food she has will only last about five days at most.

If she just stands still and does nothing, there will be no problem in a way …… even if she is hiding, there is no guarantee that she will not be attacked by monsters.

Unable to sleep well, and food is limited.

She was exhausted, and when it comes to fighting various monsters, even she couldn’t take it.

[… .. It’s a very difficult situation]

Despair covered her heart.

But the reason why she hasn’t given hope was because …

——Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Cruxie-sama… ..the smell of Cruxie-samaaaaaaaaa!

The towel that was stolen from Cruxie.

As she rubbed it on her face and smelled it, Fuu… .Haa, Fuu… .Haa….

With just that, it made her body fill with pleasure… .. her mind became clearer, and it made her body filled with energy.

After thinking “it was a good idea to bring it in”, Fiora praised her inner judgment.

[With this, fuu… .haa, I will be able to overcome, fuu… .haa, any difficulties]

Hee cool words were ruined by the noise of her breathing and her distorted face.

Then it was at that time.

Some noises of “Zun, Zun, Zun …” could be heard from somewhere.

[….. What is that sound….?]

And it was getting closer little by little.

Before long, Fiora saw it.

A huge whole body.

The height of the body will be more than 3 meters, and it’s length will be almost 2 meters.

A large heavy mass was walking while making a metallic noise.

Living Armor.

It is an armor monster that appears often on this floor.

There is nothing inside, it was hollow.

Armor that moves on its own, and attacks using a sword in an effort to eliminate intruders.

[…… I-It can’t be, a Boss Monster… ..?]

The strongest monster that could be found on each floor.

Sometimes they are in a fixed place, or they are also roaming around the floor.

And on the eighth floor, it was the second.

Please let it pass without it noticing me…… but Fiora’s prayer seemed to be in vain, when the huge living armor stopped in front of the statue where she was hidden, it then swings it’s great sword in its hand.

The statue was crushed with the pedestal.

But thanks to her quick reaction she managed to away before that heavy blow.

[Haaaa!]

As the statue fragments fell, she made her way towards the huge living armor with great spirit.

Clang, her sword was repelled.

[I-It’s too hard !]

She only scraped the surface of the armor a little.

The Living Armor generally has a high level of defense, but this is far beyond expectations.

Her sword is made of high purity mithril that can lightly cut through bronze armor.

Fiora quickly back’s away.

[… ..I guess wind magic won’t work]

She has a magical device that emits wind magic, but it surely won’t do any good against the Living Armor.

In that case, the only option that can be chosen is… ..

[I have to escape!]

She immediately prepared to retreat.

But, at that time.

The huge Living Armor raised one foot and stomped the ground.

[Huh !?]

There was a tremendous vibration, causing her to lose her balance.

Furthermore, she couldn’t get up because of the intense aftershocks.

[Dammit—-]

Noticing her, the huge armor was raising its great sword before her eyes.

Faced with the looming strike, Fiora could no longer do anything.

Ahh, if I knew that this would happen, I would have clearly told him my feelings …… she prepared herself for death.

Clang !!!

Suddenly sparks erupted and the huge blade was stopped.

[W-What…..?]

Unbelievably, the Boss Monster’s attack was stopped with just one arm.

[Cruxie… .sama….?]

A brave knight who rescues a princess in distress—–

A scene like that of a hero, was happening before her eyes.
